She has shared her resources with retreat attendees via email; if you have questions or did not receive your email, you can contact her through her UTA contact information or email Committee@AATFNorthTexas.org and we will forward your email to her.

Using Art in the language curriculum

Or: Make more out of your museum visit

Shellye Tow (UNT) shared with us her passion for Impressionism - and how to integrate it into a French classroom or museum trip. We learned how to talk about art, how to view art, which works we can find locally, and many ways to adapt art to fit almost any lesson or occasion. She has shared her PowerPoint which includes many resources for your classroom or your own enjoyment of impressionism - her speaker’s notes are included!

Making Musique Mercredi Work For You

Ashli Sambaluk (Argyle High School) shared how she regularly uses music in her classroom and how she integrates it into many different kinds of activities. She has shared her PowerPoint and two sample activities - free for you, but normally found on her Teachers Pay Teachers page !!
